Entry 14- Complications pt 2
This lesson, Mr. Powell once again talked about the assignment, but this time, he went in depth to explain the iBook evaluation task. The iBook analysis task is a task where we have to evaluate and analysis a short animation and answer a series of questions. Mr. Powell told us that we didn't have to do all of the questions, but we need to do at least more than 3/4 to get an A+. This whole task is done in the iBook, where we highlight the question, comment on it and send the comments as an email to Mr. Powell. This evaluation task is due in the first week of the holidays.
The animation that's the main task for the analysis is bush fire. The animation starts off as the bush fire, and slowly moves in towards the forest. Mr. Powell told us that that scene is really easy to do, as the bush fires are just copy and pasted after drawing the movement of the fire. By moving in in swinging motion, it really gave off that sense of distance and the impact of the fire, as it seemed as if there were more fire. In the middle of the animation, there were some animals with cute large eyes to catch the viewers sympathy, which I believe is a really clever way to open up a person's heart, as animals that are cute have a sense of life, while forests do not. The way the camera zoomed in on the rabbits eyes also gave off a sense of guilt to the viewers, and was a good transaction method, as it did not seem awkward. After that scene, it reached to the boy, and it also zoomed in on his eyes, but this time the boy was crying. Following that, the camera moved to a different scenery, which were the houses and then in the end, landed on a tree branch. The scenery then transformed into a brighter scene, where there were birds on the tree branch. The music also turned into a happier sound, creating that sense of negative to positive in a greater aspect. The camera then started to move backwards, not forwards like last time, and showed the sceneries which were affected by the bush fire in a before the bush fire form, to show how the happy energy of the forest before the bush fire. The camera reached to the man on a motorcycle in the end, who threw his cigarette into the forest, which was the cause of the bush fire. This animation cleverly told the story of the bush fire, from finish to start, which helped the connection of viewers to the animation. All in all, the camera techniques, scenery, story line and the transaction techniques made this animation a great piece to raise awareness for the bush fire.
I would like to do something similar for my animation for the transactions, as the transactions in the animation was incredibly smooth. At the start of my assignment, I was thinking of using the finish to start story telling technique, but decided to not as it would take up too much time, and the viewers would not be available to connect with mine, as people who are suicidal have different back stories. I also asked Mr. Powell if I could do my backgrounds in black and white to show the afterlife of the world, and he said that it was alright, which is good. This will effectively tell my story in a better way and will be less time-consuming. That's all that I've done this lesson, as I didn't have time to do anything this lesson.
